The Battle of Qadisiyyah by Abdul Malik Mujahid

morning. The Arabic term
al-harir denotes howling or
rumbling.
During the Night of
Howling and the Day of Al­
Qadisiyyah, 2,500 Muslim
soldiers were martyred,
while from the side of the
fire-worshipping Iranians,
10,000 polytheists were
consigned to the fire of
hell. After losing such
an enormous number of
fighters, the spirit of the
Iranians sank.
The commanders of the Muslim military units offered
guidance and encouragement to their troops to attack
the enemy. They gave them advice in a pragmatic and
sensible manner. They told them, "O fighters of Islam,
show endurance and steadfastness. Victory is waiting
for you. Now the battle has entered the decisive phase."
Sayyidana Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas ~ had turned to his
Lord in the stillness of the night. Throughout the night he
continued beseeching his Sustainer for victory and help.
